Latest and as always finely executed text from Rey Chow. This time her theoretical musings flutter around classical, but never thoroughly exhausted leitmotiff of sentimentality and cinema. The subject of her study evolves around cinematic images from contemporary chinese selection already familiar to worldwide audience such as In the Mood for Love, Happy Together, and with post-scriptum about Brokeback Mountain. Borrowing from Nietzsche (hot the true world ultimately became a fable)she discusses individual auteurs in conjunction with vast theoretical knowledge on the phenomena of sentimentalism and its cinematic explorations. Truly every time I read her works my humble intellect goes "Ah that is what it is".
